The Eagle Nebula IC 4703 /M16 in Serpens Cauda                                                                

Truly one of the most spectacular emission nebulae that lies near the heart of the Milky Way. The Eagle is a stellar nursery birthing new stars. You might have heard the term 'Bok Globule'- the V shape at top center is an example of this phenomenon.  The Eagle's talons are also called 'The Pillars of Creation.' For me, this amazing feature is a dinosaur-like monster. Do you see him? This marks my first Hydrogen alpha and RGB composition.
